Marko Jaric, a Los Angeles Clippers restricted free-agent guard, toured the Pepsi Center and had dinner with Nuggets officials. He is scheduled to meet with coach George Karl this morning before flying to Cleveland for a visit with the Cavaliers.
"I consider Denver one of the more interesting teams," Jaric said before he was to have dinner with Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe and assistant general managers David Fredman and Jeff Weltman. "I spent some quality time. . . . I like the organization, the team and the Pepsi Center is a great facility."
Jaric declined to discuss salary needs or speculate on the Nuggets' chances of landing him. But the combo guard said he could "help (the Nuggets) get better."
"I want to make the decision that's best for me," said Jaric, whose agent, Bill Duffy, said five or six teams are interested.

With Sarunas Jasikevicius committed to Indiana and Antonio Daniels pledged to Washington, the Jazz now are prepared to enter the fray for Los Angeles Clippers restricted free agent Marko Jaric.
They are not, however, alone — nor are their hopes much beyond that of a long shot.
Jaric, a 26-year-combo guard from Belgrade who has played three NBA seasons for the Clippers, reportedly will visit Denver today and Cleveland on Wednesday.
The Jazz have not entertained Jaric yet but might soon.
All three suitors, however, are in a tough spot, since in this instance L.A. holds all the cards: Because Jaric is restricted, the Clippers can match any offer sheet he signs — and seem inclined to do just that.
That in mind, the Jazz will continue to peruse the shrinking free-agency market and pursue potential trade opportunities.
"We've been talking to a lot of people," Jazz basketball operations senior vice president Kevin O'Connor said Monday night, "and we're going to continue to look and continue to decide what's best for us."
